He makes the sign of the cross after the Devil reference. Say what you want about his politics, I admire his show-man-ship.

fga,

chavez, as president of venezuela, reminds me of a bitter estranged wife, who has dedicated the rest of her life to screwing her ex over.

FGA wrote, "Are you suggesting the Venezuelans dont know what is good for them?" To answer, as an American - we voted for Bush Jr.

(And currently to get a good laugh in any crowd anyplace, just make a quality joke about Bush. A year & half is it until... Come to think of it on Tuesday, outside the Motor Vehicle Administration on the g'vt property, there was a table to get signers to impeach Bush. Folks were gathering around & no one was complaining about it in this very broad spectrum crowd.)

Hani g., can you describe what recent American exploitation in Venezula you are referring to (beyond posturing commentary in speeches)? Thanks.

sherri.. do you think sadaam husein was a democratically elected leader as well leading a democratic government? is mubaraq? is assad?

sherri

again - i ask you to define the essence of democratically elected and cordially invite you to rate the democracies of egypt - the former saddam regime of iraq etc..

i think it takes more than elections to deem a regime democratically elected but thats just my view..

so what were the genuine alternatives in venezuela?

and what constitutes a genuine alternative.. and what threshold of empowerment is required for a person to perceive that they are executing a vote based on real choice and freedom.. and how much knowledge is required.. and what level of political awareness.. heck.. what level of self-awareness is required so that one knows what will best serve one's own interests..

when is a democracy truly democratic and when are its leaders truly democratically elected..

sherri you talk in absolutes - and i ask these questions simply because i am not convinced that you have answers.. however.. these are also issues that lebanon - as it reconstitutes and repairs and heals needs to consider..

what will the face be of the incoming regime..

what democratic characteristics will it have and will these persuade people like sherri - who soak their minds in absolute terms and convinctions - to consider the next version of lebanon to be a member of the democratic community..
